| Monarch Butterflies are the only type to migrate both north and south
as birds do. It lays its eggs on the Milkweed plant. Later, when
the paupa matures to the larva, or caterpillar, it feeds on the
Milkweed leaves, ingesting substances that make them distasteful
to birds and other predators. Every fall flocks of these brilliant
specimens can be seen all across North America as they travel
to their winter roosting sites in Mexico, California and the
Caribbean. Some international efforts are being made to protect
the butterflies, as much of their winter grounds are now under
devastating land development which could mean this beauty may
soon be on the endangered list |

Eastern Black Swallowtails are commonly seen east of the Rockies into Arizona
and Mexico. Over twenty species occur in the United States.Often
spotted in meadows and gardens, this butterfly is particularly
fond of Clover, Queen Anne's Lace, plants of the carrot family
and cultivated flowers. Sometimes their caterpillars can become
destructive garden pests. Swallowtails can be difficult to observe
at close range. Although it drifts lazily from vegetation to
flower, when approached it will take off at high speed in a straight
line.
The Native Americans see the butterfly as a symbol of change
and joy. As a representation of transformation and growth, the
butterfly teaches that change is inevitable, but it does not
have to be traumatic. |
